Marchand. i The laat Wayne County Democrat comes to us in mourning, on account of the death of its ' late editor and proprietor, Jacob A. Marchand, " Esq., which took place at Wooster, on Thurs-, day night, 28th, in the 37th year of his age. - The deceased was a native of Berne, Switzerland, and came to this country with his pai- ' ents at the age of ten. He learned the print-ing business in the office of the Holmes County Farmert and after arriving at manhood be- - came conductor of the Wayne County Demo crat which position he held for thirteen years. He was a ready writer, a sterling -Democrat, :: and a genial, whole-souled fellow. We deeply sympathize with his family on account of their sore affliction. - Hominatloa of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, for Congress. 1 The Democratic Convention, for the Third Congressional District, which assembled at Hamilton on the 4th instant, unanimously renominated Hon. C. L. Vallandigham for Congress. The Statesman says it is understood he will make a thoiough and efficient canvass of his district; and if vigo energy and ability can achieve success, he will be re-elected, even though the Legislature aimed to gerrymander him out. Henry Clay on the Abolitionists. Henry Clay said, twenty years ago, of the Abolitionists: With them the rights of proper ty are nothing; the deficiency of the powers of the general government ia nothing; the acknowledged and jncontestible powers of the States, are nothing; the dibsolution of the Union, and the overthrow of a government in which are concentrated the hopes of a civili-eed world, are nothing. A single idea has ta ken possession of their minds, and onward they pursue it, overlooking all barriers, reck less and regardless of all consequences. A Patriotic Lady. Mr. Sheward, editor of the Fairfield (Iowa) Constitution and Union, having been kidnapped by the Government officers and hurried off to priwjn, his good Iarly, like a true Democrat and a loyal, patriotic waman, has issued the following eard : - To tbi Pcbmc My husband having been arrested and conveyed to Washington, or some "other point, it devolves upon me, his wife, to conduct the paper in his absence, and I ask his friends, and the friends of " free press," " free speech," the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was, and the Government as it should be, to give me your aid in this emergency. Democrats, stand by your principles and your rights. ' - ' Yours respectfully, MRS. L. E. SHEWARD. Srength of the Bebel Army. Col. Adolphus Alder, who, being in Richmond at the breaking out of the war, was forced into the rebel army and finally became a Colonel in that service, has arrived in New York, having made his escape from the rebel capital. Col. Alder commanded in Western Virginia last year, being in command at Scarry Creek, where Col. De Villiers of the Eleventh Ohio was captured. He gives the following estimate of the strenth of the rebel army: BIBIL FOBCES X ARCHING NORTHWARD. Under Gen. Joe Johnson, . ..... .

The cayalry is accom panied by 18 and 24-pounders, and the most of entire amount of artillery consists of field-pie ces, vBry many of them rifled and of the most xnodern pattern.

No one is yet able to state the extent of the losses sustained by either side in the recent battles in front of Washington. That they are grievously large may be inferred from the casualties among our Generals. The following list is made ud from dispatches. The rebel loss may be supposed to be overwhelmingly large. General Eweli is known to have been killed:;- ' General rfchenck, wounded in wrist; General Stahl, wounded ; General Taylor, killed ; General Hatch, wounded ; General Rickets, wounded twice; General Tower, shot in the knee ; Major General Kearney, killed : General Stevens, of Oregon, killed; General Patrick, wounded slightly; General Duryca, wounded slightly. A " Io-Paty,, Office Holder. It will be feen by the following from the article from the Norwalk Experiment, that Huron county has been honored by having one of her "No-party" patriots, of the Wide-Awake genus, comfortably provided for. Of course he is a " loyal" citizen : a "patriot" rewarded. According to a dispatch in the Cincinnati Gazette,".-J. F. Dewey, of this village, chief of the Wide-Awakesin thePre8idntial campaign, a member of the County Military Committee and who made a false report of his age to the As sessor, in order to get clear of the draft, has received the appointment of Collector in this District, under the new .Rational l M Law. This is said to be a lucrative offiee. the income being something like $4,000 per year. lie has been "watching thin gap" ever since the Tay Jaw was passed, and has been euocesstul.s-So another "patriot" has been rewarded. Mr. Dewey denies the charge that he is under fort Y-five, An Appeal for Lint. The Surgeon General has issued the following appeal to the loyal women and children iu the United States : " The supply of lint in market is nearly exhausted. The brave men wounded in defence of their country will soon be in want of it. I appeal to you to come to our aid in supplying ue with, this necessary article. There is scarcely a women or a child who cannot scrape lint, and there is no wy in which their assistance can be more usefully eiven than in furn ishing us the means to dress the wounds of those who fall in defence of their rights and their homes. Last Words of Gen. UcCook. The last words of Gen, Robert L. McCook, who was murdered by the rebel bushwhack ers, were addres3eed to an old friend and com panion-in-arms. The gallant soldier said, with his last breath : " The loss of ten thousand such men as you and I Would be nothing, if ue sacnace wouia save a government nice ours."

There Abolitionists Coming to their Senses. Incredible as it may seem, Cass'ms M. Clay made quite a sensible speech before the Legislature of Kentucky on the 30th ult. He actually thinks the AbolitionisU have gone far enough; that in excluding slavery from the District of Columbia and the territories, they have accomplished all that was desirod; that it never was intended to make war upon Slavery in the Slave States. He would repeal all the Confiscation Acts and proclaim a general amnesty, if the rebela would lay down their arms, and then join hands with them in punishing the common enemy. . Here are Mr. Clay's exact words on this topic : Mr. Clay thought that peace was the great end to be attained. He would offer it to the South, and on condition that they would lay down their arms and return to their allegiance, he would advise the repeal of all confis cation acts, and urge a general amnesty act. It was idle to talk of hanging Jen. Davis, or even John Breckinridge, who deserved it more than any one else. Say to our Southern brethren, " Lay down your aruis,"return to the old flag and the old Constitution unite with vis in punishing all your foreign enemies, who hate you as much as they do us, and all shall be forgiven and forgotten" Tremendous cheering. But if the South should refuse these terms, then he would have the loyal people rise in their might and swear that this rebellion should be put down, that this country should be one, though tt should cost every available dollar and every available man. Great .cheering. It is evident Mr, Clay brings with him from JJurope prejudices which could be better grat ified by a foreign war, than by contention at home. ' mm : ' Fremont on the Stump. Gen. Fremomt has just so far recovered from the sulks in which he resigned his command in Virginia as to deliver a speech at a war meeting in Boston, on the 28th evident-' 1 y a studied announcement of his programme, since it must have been composed in New York, and learned by rote for Boston dejfyery. The gist of the speech is the declaration that he is in favor of the immediate abolition of slavery in order to accomplish the suppression of the rebellion. The suggestion comes with a poor grace from a Major-General drawing full pay, who throws up his command on account of an imagined personal slight, and does nothing for months to earn his salary or suppress the rebellion not even helping' enlistments in the city of his own residence I A general who plays that sort of part in this grand national struggle oapnot have a very loud call from the people, (who in the mean-titne have been employing all legitimate means in the suppression fif the rebellion,) for his incendiary counsels.. . ; Personal. : Upon the back of a ten dollar Treasury-note, r pturned to the Department for destruction, the following lines appeared neatly written; A she hath done what she coold.

Porter moved down in the centre, Heintzelman on the' right, both corps co-operating in one movement. Porter's advance was at once met and checked by immense masses of the .enemy's infantry, and almost at the same movement became exposed to an enfilading fire of grape and canister. The .troops endured this with heroic bravery for more than an hour. An officer who watched them with hie glass, says Jje could see the ground stream with fallen ranks of dying and dead. Finally they broke and fell back in disorder. ; The reserves of both corps became disordered ty the stream of fugitives which poured back upon them, and large numbers of the men who had not been in action at all joined the retreat, The enemy advanced bis batteries rapid ly , and poured 'in a storm of shot and shell opon these confused and flying masses. The lett wing was completely broken, and the battle becanje seriously endangered. SKILL? UL GENERALSHIP OF SIGKL. McDowell then advanced in support and endeavored to hold the" centre, blif his- movements were anticipated by the enemy, and bpth he and Sige! were enveloped by the rebels on ths left, and oqtnjjrnberpd at all points. Then Sigel shone out, and his qualities as a soldier became more than ever conopicuons. Riding everywhere o;er the field, he brought up his brigades succesaively to their positipn, and. held them at tbe : front while the tide of fugitives poured by. Large bodies of McDowell's troops broke and retreated in disorder, making pejl-melj across Bull Run. - OUR ARMY FORCED TO RETREAT. At five in the afternoon the battle was going strongly against us. Gen. Pope had ordered, np and infp the fight the last of his reserves, and was still endeavoring to retrieve the day; but along the Centreville road artiL-l lery, infantry, wagons and cava)Fr were mingled together in confusion, and alt falling to the rear. Our right remained comparativelv firm, and prevented the enemy from following up his advantage. . Indeed, the last of the' crossing of Bull Kun was in perfect order, and! by eight o'clock the stream was crossed; and j the enemy troubled ua ouly by a feir shells 7e were falling back to Centreville. Frankliq with bis corps as between Stone Bridge and'Centreyille, and pressing, on.

Being thrtxprriemce nf a citizen of VTashinerton. ioho teas a Volunteer Nurse to succor the Wounded on the Battle Ground ofFriday and Saturday beyond Bull Run. v . I accompanied an ambulance train of about fifty ambulances from Centreville to the battle ground, under a flag of truce, arriving at the latter point abont 12 o'clock on Monday morning. Went to work ro bring in the wounded from the field. Some sixty volunteer civilians were thus engaged. . We brought in -abont three hundred to the -Surgeon's headquarters being more than sufficient to fill the ambulances provided. Many wonnded were also carried on stretchers. The number of wounded scattered over the field to whom n-) succor has been extended were estimated by : a surgeon who lefl 'on'Wednesday mcming at two thous and probably too high; a thousand would The train of wonnded then proceeded to Centreville, arriving there abont 4 P. M. ' It was there stopped by the rebel officers in com mand of the post and conducted to Gen. Stone- wait JacKson s headquarters, about five or six miles distant, where we arrived at 8 o'clock P. M. After some hours delay; the party in charge of the train received from General Jackson a pass through the Confederate lines, and we wended our way slowly back to Centreville, over a rough, dark road, at great ex-pense of suffering to tbe ' wounded. . Tbese supplies were received from the rebels, who had captured forty-one wagon loads of our hospital supplies. As Tuesday night was cold, we borrowed one hundred and sixty blankets of the rebels, ( being hospital blankets of the captured stock,) to make the Wounded as comfortable as possible' . ' On Wednesday morning at sunrise the train Started forWaenington. -.- INCIDEJTT8 AND APFSARAVCK Or Tff B4TTLE- riRLp. : .Our own dead, with the exception of a few, were Ivinz unburied od to Tuesday; mornine. The bodies of the dead and of a large .share of the wounded were stripped or their shoes, hats or caps, and all their accoutrements, and their pockets rifled of everything of yalue. We were assured however, that this was done by camp followers, and that-Stonewall -Jackson had dealt severely with the narandra whenever caught. We saw not a siugle dead rebel, and but very few wounded. The dead, it would seem, were carried from the field for the most part, and secretly buried.' Our wounded state that on Sunday, wben a great many of the rebels were visiting the battle-field, they were kindly fnrniehed with water , and biscuits. We saw many thousands : of the rebel soldiers. They are clad in all variety of costume manv ' of them being barefooted; but tbey are well armed, and altaongh coarteous, talk-exultingly. and defiantly. ' ' , While on the battle-field we saw two trains J of Confederate army wagons; moving northwardly toward the ull Biib monatipe.; AIbo several batteries of artillery moving in the same direction.

Most of the rebels whom we met were courteous, but some of them spoke with bitterness of the " Yankees" the general appellation applied to the Union forces. " STONEWALL JACKSOX'S HEADQUARTERS. ' On Tuesday night Gen. Jackson s headquarters were between the Warrenton and Alexandria and Little : River Turnpikes, at a point five or six miles east of Centreville. and in the. neighborhood of Fairfax Court House. We passed by the side of the camp for a mile. the soldiers were bivouacked under the trees, being without tents. Some of the soldiers told us that Gen. Lev's keadnuartcrd weie about a mile distant, -. We saw Jackson, who was dressed very little different from a private. He has no extensive staff, but : has couriers taken from the ranks, as we conversed with one of them, who was intelligent and commu nicative. We saw Gen.

Kernel Linkuu ees he feels s limpsey as an eel, ah I tell you it has taken the starch out of the hull of us. .Ef I don't write a letter this time worth rintin, it will be because my idees have all inder oozed out through my skin. One dav the Kernel ses to me sea he, 'Majer, what do vou think abont McClellan's new base on the Jeemea River?' 'Wal,' ses I, 'Kernel, it re minds me for all the world of old Truxto'u Miller's bar hunt, away up in the North part ot Maine, when I . was a boy. The Kernel liked, to hear a story as well as to tell one; so he insisted that I should tell him all about it. So I proceeded:-Ses, I, 'old Truxton .was the most noted bar hunter in all that part,' an it warnt often . when he got started after a bar that it ever got ; away. He could yell an hol ler equal to wild.

He felt pretty safe with Harcules, but soon the bars made tor the dog, an they tore him to pieces in a jiny. iruxton shot one of em, but that put the internals in the rest, an the old feller had to skedaddle, as they say in these days.- Seeing a tree handy by, he started to go up, but a powerful beast fetched him a wipe with his paw an tore off the seat of his trowsers. He got away, an that was all, an looked down on the bars in dismay.1 .Now, ses I, 'Kernel, 1 think that McUlellan s 'new base is some thing like old Traxton's. But all his neigh bora turned out.; an finally got the old feller out of his danger an when he come down he made this remark, ses he, 'neighbors, its one thing to hunt a bar. : but it's on ite another thing wBES THi bar HUNTS tou !" So ses I, Kernel, it's one thing to hunt the secech, but its Quite another thing when the secesh hunts ou. an it seems to me as u -OLcuieiian is treea in his new base.; Wal, Majer,' ses the Ker nel, 'How are we to get hm awayf 'Wal,' sea I, 'do jest as old Truxton's neighbors did 'scare off the bars 1 Scare off the : secesh 1 Get around 'em on all sidea, an make 'them believe you are goin to attack 'em from every quarter." an they will soon scatter so that the Qinnerel can change bis base agin. Call it a great piece of -strategy and the people, wont know the difference.' Wa1,' ses the Kernel, 'that's jest what has got to be done, an though it's a mity dangerous movement, rite in the face of :the rebils, yet it must be done, or.all the troops will die of diainterrv . where they are. Jiefore in is p vpf reacn ps you r rpaqars, the telkgraf will announce the hul movement.; ' - .' The other day the Kernel had a call from some nigger preachers, Hp sent . for 'era to have a talk about seein whether they wouldn't consent to go to Ceiitril America, but they didn't seem to -like it much. "'They sed they would think about it and - report. I told the Kernel that when he got niggers to emigrate that the next thing he coulodo would be to get the kinks out-of theivhair. -See he , 'Why not, Majer?' 'Wai,' . aes I, 'because it aint their nature. Sea I, 'Kernel, yoitalk : to these niggers jest as if they were white people, all except their color. You seem to think that they will do something, but they wot.-The nigger only -cares for the presents The mulattoes have some of the talents of the white men, but the nigger not a bit 'Now, Majer, ses Linkin, 'you are prejudiced. Don't all the great men of the world, all the larned men pf Europe, an all Christian philanthropists, don't they all consider it the highest duty to try an elevate the black race?', Now, ses I, 'Kernel, I don't care a postage stamp for all the great men in tlje world.

'Wal, slajor, lean t exactly see through the hull subject yet, but I'll tell yoa a story that about expresses my present ideas of the subject.

Marchand. i The laat Wayne County Democrat comes to us in mourning, on account of the death of its ' late editor and proprietor, Jacob A. Marchand, " Esq., which took place at Wooster, on Thurs-, day night, 28th, in the 37th year of his age. - The deceased was a native of Berne, Switzerland, and came to this country with his pai- ' ents at the age of ten. He learned the print-ing business in the office of the Holmes County Farmert and after arriving at manhood be- - came conductor of the Wayne County Demo crat which position he held for thirteen years. He was a ready writer, a sterling -Democrat, :: and a genial, whole-souled fellow. We deeply sympathize with his family on account of their sore affliction. - Hominatloa of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, for Congress. 1 The Democratic Convention, for the Third Congressional District, which assembled at Hamilton on the 4th instant, unanimously renominated Hon. C. L. Vallandigham for Congress. The Statesman says it is understood he will make a thoiough and efficient canvass of his district; and if vigo energy and ability can achieve success, he will be re-elected, even though the Legislature aimed to gerrymander him out. Henry Clay on the Abolitionists. Henry Clay said, twenty years ago, of the Abolitionists: With them the rights of proper ty are nothing; the deficiency of the powers of the general government ia nothing; the acknowledged and jncontestible powers of the States, are nothing; the dibsolution of the Union, and the overthrow of a government in which are concentrated the hopes of a civili-eed world, are nothing. A single idea has ta ken possession of their minds, and onward they pursue it, overlooking all barriers, reck less and regardless of all consequences. A Patriotic Lady. Mr. Sheward, editor of the Fairfield (Iowa) Constitution and Union, having been kidnapped by the Government officers and hurried off to priwjn, his good Iarly, like a true Democrat and a loyal, patriotic waman, has issued the following eard : - To tbi Pcbmc My husband having been arrested and conveyed to Washington, or some "other point, it devolves upon me, his wife, to conduct the paper in his absence, and I ask his friends, and the friends of " free press," " free speech," the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was, and the Government as it should be, to give me your aid in this emergency. Democrats, stand by your principles and your rights. ' - ' Yours respectfully, MRS. L. E. SHEWARD. Srength of the Bebel Army. Col. Adolphus Alder, who, being in Richmond at the breaking out of the war, was forced into the rebel army and finally became a Colonel in that service, has arrived in New York, having made his escape from the rebel capital. Col. Alder commanded in Western Virginia last year, being in command at Scarry Creek, where Col. De Villiers of the Eleventh Ohio was captured. He gives the following estimate of the strenth of the rebel army: BIBIL FOBCES X ARCHING NORTHWARD. Under Gen. Joe Johnson, . ..... .

No one is yet able to state the extent of the losses sustained by either side in the recent battles in front of Washington. That they are grievously large may be inferred from the casualties among our Generals. The following list is made ud from dispatches. The rebel loss may be supposed to be overwhelmingly large. General Eweli is known to have been killed:;- ' General rfchenck, wounded in wrist; General Stahl, wounded ; General Taylor, killed ; General Hatch, wounded ; General Rickets, wounded twice; General Tower, shot in the knee ; Major General Kearney, killed : General Stevens, of Oregon, killed; General Patrick, wounded slightly; General Duryca, wounded slightly. A " Io-Paty,, Office Holder. It will be feen by the following from the article from the Norwalk Experiment, that Huron county has been honored by having one of her "No-party" patriots, of the Wide-Awake genus, comfortably provided for. Of course he is a " loyal" citizen : a "patriot" rewarded. According to a dispatch in the Cincinnati Gazette,".-J. F. Dewey, of this village, chief of the Wide-Awakesin thePre8idntial campaign, a member of the County Military Committee and who made a false report of his age to the As sessor, in order to get clear of the draft, has received the appointment of Collector in this District, under the new .Rational l M Law. This is said to be a lucrative offiee. the income being something like $4,000 per year. lie has been "watching thin gap" ever since the Tay Jaw was passed, and has been euocesstul.s-So another "patriot" has been rewarded. Mr. Dewey denies the charge that he is under fort Y-five, An Appeal for Lint. The Surgeon General has issued the following appeal to the loyal women and children iu the United States : " The supply of lint in market is nearly exhausted. The brave men wounded in defence of their country will soon be in want of it. I appeal to you to come to our aid in supplying ue with, this necessary article. There is scarcely a women or a child who cannot scrape lint, and there is no wy in which their assistance can be more usefully eiven than in furn ishing us the means to dress the wounds of those who fall in defence of their rights and their homes. Last Words of Gen. UcCook. The last words of Gen, Robert L. McCook, who was murdered by the rebel bushwhack ers, were addres3eed to an old friend and com panion-in-arms. The gallant soldier said, with his last breath : " The loss of ten thousand such men as you and I Would be nothing, if ue sacnace wouia save a government nice ours."

There Abolitionists Coming to their Senses. Incredible as it may seem, Cass'ms M. Clay made quite a sensible speech before the Legislature of Kentucky on the 30th ult. He actually thinks the AbolitionisU have gone far enough; that in excluding slavery from the District of Columbia and the territories, they have accomplished all that was desirod; that it never was intended to make war upon Slavery in the Slave States. He would repeal all the Confiscation Acts and proclaim a general amnesty, if the rebela would lay down their arms, and then join hands with them in punishing the common enemy. . Here are Mr. Clay's exact words on this topic : Mr. Clay thought that peace was the great end to be attained. He would offer it to the South, and on condition that they would lay down their arms and return to their allegiance, he would advise the repeal of all confis cation acts, and urge a general amnesty act. It was idle to talk of hanging Jen. Davis, or even John Breckinridge, who deserved it more than any one else. Say to our Southern brethren, " Lay down your aruis,"return to the old flag and the old Constitution unite with vis in punishing all your foreign enemies, who hate you as much as they do us, and all shall be forgiven and forgotten" Tremendous cheering. But if the South should refuse these terms, then he would have the loyal people rise in their might and swear that this rebellion should be put down, that this country should be one, though tt should cost every available dollar and every available man. Great .cheering. It is evident Mr, Clay brings with him from JJurope prejudices which could be better grat ified by a foreign war, than by contention at home. ' mm : ' Fremont on the Stump. Gen. Fremomt has just so far recovered from the sulks in which he resigned his command in Virginia as to deliver a speech at a war meeting in Boston, on the 28th evident-' 1 y a studied announcement of his programme, since it must have been composed in New York, and learned by rote for Boston dejfyery. The gist of the speech is the declaration that he is in favor of the immediate abolition of slavery in order to accomplish the suppression of the rebellion. The suggestion comes with a poor grace from a Major-General drawing full pay, who throws up his command on account of an imagined personal slight, and does nothing for months to earn his salary or suppress the rebellion not even helping' enlistments in the city of his own residence I A general who plays that sort of part in this grand national struggle oapnot have a very loud call from the people, (who in the mean-titne have been employing all legitimate means in the suppression fif the rebellion,) for his incendiary counsels.. . ; Personal. : Upon the back of a ten dollar Treasury-note, r pturned to the Department for destruction, the following lines appeared neatly written; A she hath done what she coold.

Porter moved down in the centre, Heintzelman on the' right, both corps co-operating in one movement. Porter's advance was at once met and checked by immense masses of the .enemy's infantry, and almost at the same movement became exposed to an enfilading fire of grape and canister. The .troops endured this with heroic bravery for more than an hour. An officer who watched them with hie glass, says Jje could see the ground stream with fallen ranks of dying and dead. Finally they broke and fell back in disorder. ; The reserves of both corps became disordered ty the stream of fugitives which poured back upon them, and large numbers of the men who had not been in action at all joined the retreat, The enemy advanced bis batteries rapid ly , and poured 'in a storm of shot and shell opon these confused and flying masses. The lett wing was completely broken, and the battle becanje seriously endangered. SKILL? UL GENERALSHIP OF SIGKL. McDowell then advanced in support and endeavored to hold the" centre, blif his- movements were anticipated by the enemy, and bpth he and Sige! were enveloped by the rebels on ths left, and oqtnjjrnberpd at all points. Then Sigel shone out, and his qualities as a soldier became more than ever conopicuons. Riding everywhere o;er the field, he brought up his brigades succesaively to their positipn, and. held them at tbe : front while the tide of fugitives poured by. Large bodies of McDowell's troops broke and retreated in disorder, making pejl-melj across Bull Run. - OUR ARMY FORCED TO RETREAT. At five in the afternoon the battle was going strongly against us. Gen. Pope had ordered, np and infp the fight the last of his reserves, and was still endeavoring to retrieve the day; but along the Centreville road artiL-l lery, infantry, wagons and cava)Fr were mingled together in confusion, and alt falling to the rear. Our right remained comparativelv firm, and prevented the enemy from following up his advantage. . Indeed, the last of the' crossing of Bull Kun was in perfect order, and! by eight o'clock the stream was crossed; and j the enemy troubled ua ouly by a feir shells 7e were falling back to Centreville.

Being thrtxprriemce nf a citizen of VTashinerton. ioho teas a Volunteer Nurse to succor the Wounded on the Battle Ground ofFriday and Saturday beyond Bull Run. v . I accompanied an ambulance train of about fifty ambulances from Centreville to the battle ground, under a flag of truce, arriving at the latter point abont 12 o'clock on Monday morning. Went to work ro bring in the wounded from the field. Some sixty volunteer civilians were thus engaged. . We brought in -abont three hundred to the -Surgeon's headquarters being more than sufficient to fill the ambulances provided. Many wonnded were also carried on stretchers. The number of wounded scattered over the field to whom n-) succor has been extended were estimated by : a surgeon who lefl 'on'Wednesday mcming at two thous and probably too high; a thousand would The train of wonnded then proceeded to Centreville, arriving there abont 4 P. M. ' It was there stopped by the rebel officers in com mand of the post and conducted to Gen. Stone- wait JacKson s headquarters, about five or six miles distant, where we arrived at 8 o'clock P. M. After some hours delay; the party in charge of the train received from General Jackson a pass through the Confederate lines, and we wended our way slowly back to Centreville, over a rough, dark road, at great ex-pense of suffering to tbe ' wounded. . Tbese supplies were received from the rebels, who had captured forty-one wagon loads of our hospital supplies. As Tuesday night was cold, we borrowed one hundred and sixty blankets of the rebels, ( being hospital blankets of the captured stock,) to make the Wounded as comfortable as possible' . ' On Wednesday morning at sunrise the train Started forWaenington. -.- INCIDEJTT8 AND APFSARAVCK Or Tff B4TTLE- riRLp. : .Our own dead, with the exception of a few, were Ivinz unburied od to Tuesday; mornine. The bodies of the dead and of a large .share of the wounded were stripped or their shoes, hats or caps, and all their accoutrements, and their pockets rifled of everything of yalue. We were assured however, that this was done by camp followers, and that-Stonewall -Jackson had dealt severely with the narandra whenever caught. We saw not a siugle dead rebel, and but very few wounded. The dead, it would seem, were carried from the field for the most part, and secretly buried.' Our wounded state that on Sunday, wben a great many of the rebels were visiting the battle-field, they were kindly fnrniehed with water , and biscuits. We saw many thousands : of the rebel soldiers. They are clad in all variety of costume manv ' of them being barefooted; but tbey are well armed, and altaongh coarteous, talk-exultingly. and defiantly.

' On Tuesday night Gen. Jackson s headquarters were between the Warrenton and Alexandria and Little : River Turnpikes, at a point five or six miles east of Centreville. and in the. neighborhood of Fairfax Court House. We passed by the side of the camp for a mile. the soldiers were bivouacked under the trees, being without tents. Some of the soldiers told us that Gen. Lev's keadnuartcrd weie about a mile distant, -. We saw Jackson, who was dressed very little different from a private. He has no extensive staff, but : has couriers taken from the ranks, as we conversed with one of them, who was intelligent and commu nicative. We saw Gen. Fitsbush Lee on Wednesday at Fairfax Court House, where a large body of Stuarts cayalry are stationed.

Scrs: It has been alout the hottest wether, sence 1 writ yon last, I ever did see. Kernel Linkuu ees he feels s limpsey as an eel, ah I tell you it has taken the starch out of the hull of us. .Ef I don't write a letter this time worth rintin, it will be because my idees have all inder oozed out through my skin. One dav the Kernel ses to me sea he, 'Majer, what do vou think abont McClellan's new base on the Jeemea River?' 'Wal,' ses I, 'Kernel, it re minds me for all the world of old Truxto'u Miller's bar hunt, away up in the North part ot Maine, when I . was a boy. The Kernel liked, to hear a story as well as to tell one; so he insisted that I should tell him all about it. So I proceeded:-Ses, I, 'old Truxton .was the most noted bar hunter in all that part,' an it warnt often . when he got started after a bar that it ever got ; away. He could yell an hol ler equal to wild. Jnjins, an.- he generally scart away an ine varmints lor several mues ar ouna. une spring tne oars had been very truD Dei some, carry in off his sheep, lambs an even calves an vearlins, and Truxton vowed he'd go and attack the bars in their den. So off he started with his dubbel barreled shot gun an his big dog. Hare u lea, for a Tegular bar hunt. He soon got on their track, an he followed them to their dehT" Jest- as one was goin in he lei go his gun an took one of 'em in the thigh. This only . made matters worse. for out come two or three others, an soon the old feller was tackled on all sides. He felt pretty safe with Harcules, but soon the bars made tor the dog, an they tore him to pieces in a jiny. iruxton shot one of em, but that put the internals in the rest, an the old feller had to skedaddle, as they say in these days.- Seeing a tree handy by, he started to go up, but a powerful beast fetched him a wipe with his paw an tore off the seat of his trowsers. He got away, an that was all, an looked down on the bars in dismay.1 .Now, ses I, 'Kernel, 1 think that McUlellan s 'new base is some thing like old Traxton's. But all his neigh bora turned out.; an finally got the old feller out of his danger an when he come down he made this remark, ses he, 'neighbors, its one thing to hunt a bar. : but it's on ite another thing wBES THi bar HUNTS tou !" So ses I, Kernel, it's one thing to hunt the secech, but its Quite another thing when the secesh hunts ou. an it seems to me as u -OLcuieiian is treea in his new base.; Wal, Majer,' ses the Ker nel, 'How are we to get hm awayf 'Wal,' sea I, 'do jest as old Truxton's neighbors did 'scare off the bars 1 Scare off the : secesh 1 Get around 'em on all sidea, an make 'them believe you are goin to attack 'em from every quarter." an they will soon scatter so that the Qinnerel can change bis base agin. Call it a great piece of -strategy and the people, wont know the difference.' Wa1,' ses the Kernel, 'that's jest what has got to be done, an though it's a mity dangerous movement, rite in the face of :the rebils, yet it must be done, or.all the troops will die of diainterrv . where they are. Jiefore in is p vpf reacn ps you r rpaqars, the telkgraf will announce the hul movement.; ' - .' The other day the Kernel had a call from some nigger preachers, Hp sent . for 'era to have a talk about seein whether they wouldn't consent to go to Ceiitril America, but they didn't seem to -like it much. "'They sed they would think about it and - report. I told the Kernel that when he got niggers to emigrate that the next thing he coulodo would be to get the kinks out-of theivhair. -See he , 'Why not, Majer?' 'Wai,' . aes I, 'because it aint their nature. Sea I, 'Kernel, yoitalk : to these niggers jest as if they were white people, all except their color. You seem to think that they will do something, but they wot.-The nigger only -cares for the presents The mulattoes have some of the talents of the white men, but the nigger not a bit 'Now, Majer, ses Linkin, 'you are prejudiced. Don't all the great men of the world, all the larned men pf Europe, an all Christian philanthropists, don't they all consider it the highest duty to try an elevate the black race?', Now, ses I, 'Kernel, I don't care a postage stamp for all the great men in tlje world. A little plain mother - wltT have always found belter than a stack of book: larnin, an ef any one will jest take . the nigger race an study? jt out -practically, they will see thatit has- aUera been the same unci vilized, hethi n people whenr white folks did not iia.Te control, of 'em. . ,Y6u send 'emlo CScntril America,' lani: iijf a gTera-tion or so, thejr ilb be again catin lizards, an worshipping snakes, .as , they do ; iit Africa nOW.' Vi.i- y -,;r t -i i Ses 'I,' 'Kernel, there's no 'peepol " iii', the world so likely to lead' yon estray ae edecatpt peepnl.

" Ogdea Hoffman, then tbe greatest :otai inr. tn it the smartest lawyer York bad, was sent on S3 spokesman. He cnd talk jest a slick as grease, an knew more law in a minnit than the old Uinneral did in all day. One night be staid till almost morain, Ulkin an talkin, scoldin a little and palaverin a good deal more. TheoldGinneral didn't sav mncb. -only once in a while puttin in a qnestshin. - Finally Huffman got ready to go an axed what the Ginneral thought of the arguments he bad made. The old Ginneral pushed bjs spectacles np on bis forehead, run bis fingers through his hair, an jumpin out of his cheer, walked across the room as if he was. tarein-mad, rite up to Mr. Huffman. When he got there, sea he 'Mr. Lawyer; your talk is all rery pretty, very eloqnentan very larned with Lat-.. in, but,' (an bere be fetched bis old ! hickory down on the floor.) 4I shall veto that Bank of BidJie's by the .Eternal I' Yoa see the old Ginneral couldn't hold a candil to H offman, as far as larnin an talk went, but be bad the genuine common sense that seen rite through the hull subject.' So I tell you, Kernel, don't put your crust in edecated peepul. Ef the hull world thinks that yon kin make a white man out of a nigger, it only shows that the hull world is made up of fools. "Wal, ses Linkin, 'that all may be very true, but you see, Majer, I've got these contry-bands on my hands, and I've got to fish or cut bait. We've only got a few thousand free know, an the peepul in the North in arms to murder 'em ef I send any more there. I shall soon have two wars on "my hands ef I don't contrive some plan to get rid of the kinky heads. You see, Majer, a fire in front an a fire in the rear will be too much of a good thing.' - , see, I see Kernel ees 1, 'you've got to change your base.' Exactly, Majr; yoq hit the nail rita on the bed.' 'Wal,' ses I, 'Kernel, I can't give you a bit of advice except w hat I have all along. Put the negro in his place, an he wont be a bit of trubbel to you, but as long as you try - to get along with him out of his place, youU be in, hot water. As for goin to Centril America, they wont go thar any sooner than they will to Jvamscatkv. 'Wal,' ses Linkin, ses he, if they wont da that, we shall all pretty soon be in a nice kit tie of fish.' 'Wal,' ses I, 'Kernel, can you tell rae bow you thiuk this war is goin to end? 'Wal, slajor, lean t exactly see through the hull subject yet, but I'll tell yoa a story that about expresses my present ideas of the subject. One night at a tavern out in Hlinoy, two drunken men were sent to sleep in the same room, but they were so drank that tbey both got into one bed, but did not know it.-?- JSo sooner in than one. sung eat to theoth er, I eay Bill, sum feller, is in my bed. AP- ter swearing at the landlord tor a while for not gmn em single beds, Bill sung out, I say, Jim. I'm goin to ; kick my feller out of bed.' 'Wal, ses Bill, 'so am I.' So at it they went, kickin like all possessed, until ho,tb, of em lay sprawlin out on the floor. They had kicked themselves oat of bed! . Now, Mat jer, I guess that will be jest about bow. hia. war will end. .The way we're goin ny bot the North an the South will kick one auothen out of bed before they stop and out of bouat and home too I' 'Wal,' ses 1, Kernel that's about my ; Idea too. an I don't : beleeve, by the time they . ce through, either side will have a bed-blanket or even a bull shirt left. They'll be - wui pff than Bill Bradly when he with, the catir mount, who didn't have a rag Ief qa him except the stock around bis neck.' Here the couversashin dropped. ' The Kernel looked very sqlecqneqlly, and, I tljot I wouldn't say nothin to hart bis feeln, : There aint ennything new here just oo.waan cept the arrival of new regiments. Sewar4 feels as happy as a little gal with a new dol every time a regiment comes along."
